answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>We believe the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) remains the best way of preventing a nuclear-armed Iran and we are determined to see it maintained for as long as Iran complies with it. The deal is a critical agreement that makes the world a safer place and it is working; Iran remains constrained by the strict nuclear limits in the deal and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) retains unprecedented access to monitor and verify Iran's activities. IAEA reports continue to confirm that Iran is adhering to the nuclear limits in the JCPoA.</p><p>As set out in my Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament on Monday 5 November, we have been clear with the US about our determination to preserve the JCPoA, and the fact that this is driven by our national security interests. The UK is working with France and Germany on a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to enable continued sanctions relief to reach Iran, and to allow for European exporters and importers to trade in compliance with EU and UN sanctions.</p><p>In parallel to our work with partners to maintain the JCPoA, we continue to take steps with our partners against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps destabilising behaviour across the region and to hold Iran to account on human rights, including its treatment of British-Iranians detained in Iran.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/11/2018 16:00:39 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK noted with concern and regret the US decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA). The UK continues to view the JCPOA as important for our shared security and for stability in the Middle East, through its role in neutralising the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. In his statement to the House on 9 May, the Foreign Secretary was clear that the UK will remain a party to the deal as long as Iran continues to comply with its commitments. We will strive to preserve the gains made by the JCPoA, while continuing to engage with all our partners on how to address shared concerns about Iran's ballistic missile programme and destabilising regional activity.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 21/05/2018 16:57:27 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>The Joint Comprehnesive Plan of Action is the product of 13 years of tireless diplomacy, and it is working, with Iran having reduced its stock of enriched uranium by 95 per cent. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed nine times that Iran is complying with the nuclear deal, most recently in February. The IAEA inspection regime agreed as part of the Iran nuclear deal is one of the most extensive and robust in the history of international nuclear accords. It remains a vitally important way of independently verifying that the deal is working and that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful. This is why we are working hard to maintain the deal following the 8 May announcement of US withdrawal.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/05/2018 13:09:21 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
